Anti-Spark Pneumatic Tubing – Flame-Retardant Protection for Welding Environments

What is Flame-Retardant Tubing and Why Is It Critical for Pneumatic Equipment?

Anti-spark tubing, also known as flame-retardant pneumatic tubing, is a specialized air hose engineered for use in high-temperature and spark-prone industrial automation environments, such as welding stations and robotic arms. Its primary function is to deliver compressed air while withstanding environments with grinding sparks or potential fire hazards.
For example, in an automotive assembly plant, welding sparks constantly fly across the workspace. Traditional pneumatic tubing can be easily burned through, leading to dangerous air leaks, unexpected machine shutdowns and costly safety incidents.

SHPI anti-spark tubing adopts a special flame-resistant design, ensuring your industrial pneumatic system remains stable, safe and highly efficient even in highly demanding, spark-prone environments.  

Dual-Layer Construction for Superior Performance

SHPI flame-retardant tubing features a robust dual-layer design for maximum durability:

  • Inner Layer – Polyurethane (PUR): 
Provides excellent flexibility, kink resistance, and fatigue durability—ideal for smooth, long-lasting compressed air delivery.
  • Outer Layer – Flame-Retardant Compound (UL 94 V-0):
Made from a self-extinguishing plastic material that meets the UL 94 V-0 flammability standard, providing strong protection against welding sparks and reducing the risk of fire-related damage.

Key Advantages of SHPI Anti-Spark Pneumatic Tubing

In today's manufacturing environments where automation and welding operations coexist, choosing the right tubing is essential. SHPI anti-spark tubing is more than just a purchase—it's a long-term investment in safety and productivity.
